West Ham defender Sean Tarima has signed a first pro deal.

Tarima was a regular with the U18s this past season.

“I'm really pleased and excited to sign my first professional contract," Tarima told whufc.com. "I have been here since the age of ten and I have worked really hard for this moment.

"It is a great achievement for myself and for my family. I couldn't have done it without all the coaches who have helped me along my journey.

“It has been a crazy season. I remember seeing videos of some of the Premier League's top players winning and playing in the FA Youth Cup, so to play in it myself and to win it is crazy. It was a great way to sign off with the U18s and now I'm ready for next season with the U21s.

"Hopefully I can carry this success on into next season."
